Nikki Sixx comments on DJ Ashba's status with GNR

[FunkyMonkey]

There, you have it -- thanks Dj.

[Thiago Mota]

Thanks for the update Dj !

[cineater]

That's DJ, don't let the net suck up all your time. 

And just for the record, Slash was not the first rock star to wear the top hat.

"I'm up on a tightwire
One side's ice and one is fire
It's a circus game with you and me

I'm up on a tight rope
One side's hate and one is hope
But the top hat on my head is all you see"

[Nytunz]

I can assure everyone that I am not just "filling in" I am very excited about the upcoming concerts and my future with Guns N' Roses and I'm honored to be apart of such a legendary band. God only knows the destruction were planning to do. Hope your all well N' I hope this clears shit up . . . .

[clau68]

I am very happy that DJ Ashba clear the things up. I appreciate all his feeling in the concerts in SA. He is a great musician and seems to be a great person too. 

[cineater]

While we're doing the check in, is Beta on for the European tour?  Don't leave us lady.

[Buddha_Master]

Alright, I have to admit that was pretty fucking cool of Ashba. You just don't see that everyday. Don't let me down.

[D]

U guys hating on DJ, don't make me pull out the Get on board or fuck off speech.

[tippasaurus]

Its a funny thing how DJ's association with Nikki and Motley Crue makes some of you believe he has no integrity.  Its

Well to clarify, the "lack of integrity" that I perceive...  let's just say that DJ is following a muse that I don't derive much enjoyment.  So if I were to re-state my original thought I would have probably said I resonate w/ the muse that Bucket and Robin follow more than DJ's muse.  If that makes any sense...

With that said, certainly a hat tip is deserved w/ regards to the effort DJ puts in when it comes to interacting with the fans.

Not much. He's a working musician in a business that's pretty hard to break into - he deserves some respect for that alone. As for comparing him to Finck of Buckethead, that's silly. He's not on any recorded material yet, so it's impossible to say what he might bring to the table in that context. He's definitely more consistent on the Slash stuff than Finck (who I have nothing against) in a live setting.

[big_machine]

thank you DJ ASHBA !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I saw him live , and he fucking rocks ... !!!!!!!!!!

and im a true die hard fan believe me.


you`ve got me bro !!  cant wait to see your songwriting habillities

D.J. ASHBA: I Am Not Just 'Filling In' With GUNS N' ROSES - May 5, 2010

D.J. Ashba (GUNS N' ROSES, SIXX: A.M.) has shot down reports that he is just "filling in" on guitar with GUNS N' ROSES while he is preparing to release the sophomore album from SIXX: A.M.

In an April 2010 interview with Meltdown of Detroit, Michigan's WRIF 101.1 FM radio station, Ashba's SIXX: A.M. bandmate, M?TLEY CR?E bassist Nikki Sixx, stated about D.J.'s involvement with GUNS N' ROSES, "He's with GUNS N ROSES. [He] went to South America [with them]... and he's kinda filling in doing that thing right now until we get the? With SIXX: A.M., it's interesting. We're songwriters and producers and we just? we make this music and we do whatever we wanted to. We don't ever really plan on touring. We did tour with Cr?e Fest. I don't know what we'll do with this one. Maybe we'll do something. But the music's Number One."

Responding the fan speculation regarding his status in GUNS N' ROSES in the wake of Sixx's remarks, Ashba wrote in an online posting, "I can assure everyone that I am not just 'filling in.' I am very excited about the upcoming concerts and my future with GUNS N' ROSES and I'm honored to be a part of such a legendary band. God only knows the destruction we're planning to do. I hope this clears shit up."

Ashba joined GUNS N' ROSES in March 2009 following the departure of Robin Finck. GN'R frontman Axl Rose stated about D.J.'s addition to the group at the time, "D.J.'s a gifted, energetic guitarist that GUNS N' ROSES is proud to have on board!! We're very excited to have the opportunity to work together. GUNS' radar has silently been aware of D.J.'s presence for quite some time. He brings a fresh approach to our particular brand of mayhem expanding the tapestry of GUNS N' ROSES live. Once D.J.'s name was in the hat, the hat disappeared!!"

I find it funny how Blabbermouth is always diggin in this board to write thise "news".

Behold! and fearrrrrrrrrrrr DjA is watching ya!!

[One.In.A.Million]

Blabbermouth picking this up this quick just backs up what GN'R have been saying all along, which is you have to watch what you say and only say it when it's certain.

Bumblefoot was right when he said, everything you say online is a personal statement and that's why you sometimes cannot talk about certain things.

So DJ, thanks alot for coming online now and then to chat, and to dispel rumours. 

[tange]

If at this point we as fans don't realize that much Bullshite is spread in the name of G N'R then we never will. People love to hate these guys, thats why they are my (our) band. Just because its for different reasons than the old days don't matter, its that same identity of doing what you want and feel is right and apologizing to no man, woman, or journalist afterwards.

well, that certainly settles it, doesn't it?  man i love the interet

[xxgunsxx]

like i said, people simply pulling words apart. nikki prolly ment nothing by what he said, if anything he probably ment filling in because he's not a founding member. dj is very honest about things, I remember when he parted ways with BC 9 yrs ago or so and all the rumors about that and they were squashed. sometimes I wish our media wasn't as available as it is.

[H76]

While we're doing the check in, is Beta on for the European tour?  Don't leave us lady.

  I see another thread for this coming up..


As for DJ.. love his playing. Even if this is DJ's first tour with GNR, he seems to feel at home on stage and well..pretty much with everything. Axl made a great pick with this one ! Thanks El Gordo !  That is not to say that I would think any less of Robin or Buckethead (or any current member of the band) . They both (all) are great players as well and I do appreciate everything they have given to this band. And as for GNR vs. Sixx.AM..forget about it ! DJ is not the first musician who has multiple projects (bands that is) in works simultaniously. That's normal. I see it more as a richness than a threat, because it makes exploring new music for us fans much easier. I had never even heard of Sixx A.M. or DJ before he joined GNR.

Again......... i love internet.
